And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I do eat meat and lots of it. But as of now, I prefer to pit my woodland skills against a highly wary and noble animal. Romantic? Traditionalist? Maybe but a serious challenge for sure. And I'm only doing it for the meat as I still don't have a good recipe for those things the bucks wear.
If you are looking to fill the freezer, this blind does not take away the effort to locate a trail that they will pass by. The hunter is limited to this one spot - that takes skill as well. Stalking game is more challenging, but you spread your scent quite a bit more and can ruin other hunter's efforts as well.
We all have our lines of 'Don't Go There'. Mine is hunting over bait (within sight of hunter). Legal in Texas, but I still hate it and wish it were outlawed. Feeders in view of the blind create more opportunities maybe too advantageous to the hunter. Feeders back in brush aren't nearly as bad to me.
This blind would be great for stealth camping. I don't know how well the boxy shape would be in windy conditions. Or a photo blind.
Could be risky though , some of the yahoos like to shoot through the bush's
ReplyDeleteOrange pendant on top called for. Or a bullet proof vest.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about this one. Isn't animal vision different from human vision in certain ways?
ReplyDeleteI think it could be very useful, and not simply for hunting.
ReplyDeleteAt what point does gear like this or those huts on stilts become plain killing rather than hunting?
ReplyDeleteIf you eat the meat, who cares? If you don't eat the meat, why are you doing either?

DeletePicturing the opening scene of Last Of The Mohicans as you’re describing hunting a noble animal.

All honest hunters should be required to use only a pointy stick or a rock as everything else like guns and knives is cowardly. Said nobody ever.
